I thought of making her a needle-book with white backs, and getting Gilbert Gillespie to paint them he can paint beautifully and having her name and something else written very nicely inside; how do you think that would do?" "I should think it would do very nicely," said Ellen "very nicely, indeed."
I have got a little needle-case I have looked out for you; stay, here it is, I wish it were more only " "Only, I know what. You've been a-spending all your money in nice things for poor Franky. Thou'rt a real good un, Libbie, and I'll keep your needle-book to my dying day, that I will."
Dotty had given Mandoline an old needle-book; but it had been in return for some maple sugar, which the little Jewess had pilfered from her father's store. "Dotty Dimple, is it?" said Mrs. Rosenberg, with a sharp look at the little guest. "I don't know now any better than I did before. That's a name for a doll-baby; I should say." "Alice Parlin, mother." "Is it?
Madame Orley and her trained steed were quite new and different now that she knew that Madame Orley's real name was Currie, and that she curled Mignon's hair every morning. Goo-Goo seemed like an intimate friend, because of the writing-lessons. Alice was even sure that she could make out old Jerry of the needle-book among the attendants. Round and round and round sped the horses.
Various useful articles of Shaker manufacture interested Sue greatly: the exquisite straw-work that covered the whisk-broom; the mending-basket, pincushion, needle-book, spool- and watch-cases, hair-receivers, pin-trays, might all have been put together by fairy fingers.
And, my lips resting on my mother's needle-book, I thought of Lois, and how like mine in a measure was her strange history, not yet fully revealed. "Sagamore, my elder brother?" I said at last. "Mayaro listens." "How is it then with Lois de Contrecoeur that you already knew she was of the Hidden Children?" "I knew it when I first laid eyes on her, Loskiel." "By what sign?" "The moccasins.
"Those roses," said she. "Did you like them?" said Phyllis; "they were as fresh as fresh. I made the needle-book, but it was Bobbie's present." She skipped joyously as she spoke. "Here's your basket," said the Post-office woman. She went in and brought out the basket. It was full of fat, red gooseberries. "I dare say Perks's children would like them," said she.
You needn't stare so, for I actually made that needle-book, Anna, and my partner knit Lizzie's new cloud. This is the way it all happened. I didn't wish to waste any time, but one can't rush into the street and collar shabby little girls, and say, 'Come along and learn to sew, without a struggle, so I thought I'd go and ask Mrs. Brown how to begin.
For many days after this Miss Bennett had her secret work, which she carefully hid when she saw Hetty coming. Slowly, in this way, she made a pretty needle-book, a tiny pincushion, and an emery bag like a big strawberry. Then from her own scanty stock she added needles, pins, thread, and her only pair of small scissors, scoured to the last extreme of brightness.
So they went out and bought a light, nicely shaped basket, with little pockets all around it, and Aunt Rachel made it complete with a silver thimble, a strawberry emery cushion, a morocco needle-book, and an ample supply of silk, thread, needles, pins, and buttons.
